I have the same question, any ideas guys…

Thanks Andy…

This is very much a different way of laying out columns for me and maybe for others, I would normally set the width of each column and not use margins like in this theme (BP 1.2 Default “BETA”), but I can greatly see the benefit of doing it this way for fluid screen use….

Anyway I have figured it out, If ‘nickmy’ or anyone one else wishes to add three column the code changes are as follows:

ADD THE FOLLOWING TO THE DEFAULT.CSS:-

float: left;

width: 225px;

margin-right: -226px;

margin-top: 1px;

border-right:1px solid #e4e4e4;

-moz-border-radius-topleft: 3px;

-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 3px;

background: url( ../images/sidebar_back.gif ) top left repeat-x;

}

ADD THE FOLLOWING TO (div#content .padder):-

margin-left: 225px;

border-right: 1px solid #e4e4e4;

CREATE A FILE CALLED “sidebar-left.php” IN THE BP-DEFAULT THEME DIRECTORY, CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING:

<div id=”sidebar-left”>

<div class=”padder”>

This is where your left content can go…

</div>

</div>

ADD THE FOLLOWING TO IN THE APPROPRIATE THEME TEMPLATES: (eg single.php)

<?php locate_template( array( ‘sidebar-left.php’ ), true ) ?>

///Note this needs to be instead between the <?php get_header() ?> and <div id=”content”> ///

Then your done… You could go one step more and add the function of “register_sidebar” bar to the functions.php, but I will not go there right now as there plenty of documents and articles on how to do this…

Hope this helps anyone else who may have the same problem…

nickmy, you can achieve that by implementing the code provided by Chris above but instead of using single.php you would use page.php to insert <?php locate_template( array( ‘sidebar-left.php’ ), true ) ?> after <?php get_header() ?> and just before <div id=”content”>.

Chris, i’ve added a width and a border-left to your default.css code:

div#content .padder {

margin-right: 225px;

border-right: 0px solid #e4e4e4;

border-left: 1px solid #e4e4e4;

-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;

-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;

-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;

-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;

margin-left: 225px;

width:757px;

}

Sorry Tadziz but that’s a simple WordPress question. There’s a lot of tutorial around on “how to add widgetized areas” on sidebar. Just google it.

i still don’t get it what to add to this place

<div id=”sidebar-left”>

<div class=”padder”>

This is where your left content can go…

</div>

</div>

and i don’t get it how to edit functions.php file

Hi. Can you make a new topic please, and detail what help you need? This topic hadn’t had a reply for almost two and half years, so I’m not very surprised that the old instructions may not work anymore. Thanks.
